Curation Picks: A.D.H.S. - Confused Acid

A D H S Confused Acid 16x9

Ross Jackson

Feb 25, 2026

Genre: Techno

Label: Kurai Records

Berlin-based techno act A.D.H.S.’s fresh single "Confused Acid" is built for momentum. Galloping at 140 BPM, it wastes no time establishing its intent: a pounding, straight-ahead kick and a sharply etched 303 line that cuts through the audio spectrum.

The acid lead carries most of the weight, morphing subtly as metallic percussion and mechanical textures push the groove forward, complete with psy-leaning triplets. The production stays clean and balanced despite the intensity, allowing each element space to breathe. It’s functional, high-pressure techno, engineered for peak time impact.
